Thursday Thirteen #90 – “Favorite 80′s Flicks”

Sherry — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:56:21 +0000

1. The Abyss

I love this movie! Special effects were pretty good for the 80′s! One of my favorite quotes:
Virgil: When you’re hanging on by your fingernails, you can’t go waving your arms around.

An Officer And A Gentleman

One of the best romantic movies of all time! Richard Gere looks great in that uniform! And who will ever forget this line…
Lynette: Way to go, Paula! Way to go!

The Breakfast Club

One of the best movies, ever! John Hughes captured high school life to the tee!
Great lines in this movie, hard to find just one…but this one is great!
John Bender: Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place.

Dirty Dancing

Love, love, love this movie!! Makes me wanna dance!
Johnny: Nobody puts Baby in a corner.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Who wouldn’t have loved to have a friend like Ferris?
Ferris: Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.

Flashdance

This movie had me cutting every sweatshirt I owned!
Nick: When you give up your dream, you die.

Footloose

Kevin Bacon dancing in a barn….how sweet is that?
Ren: Hey, hey! What’s this I see? I thought this was a party. LET’S DANCE!

The Karate Kid

One of the feel good movies that went on to continue in parts 2, and 3! I would have liked to have known a Mr. Miyagi.
Daniel: Wouldn’t a fly swatter be easier?
Miyagi: Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything.
Daniel: Ever catch one?
Miyagi: Not yet.

The Outsiders

I loved the book, read it in jr high, but the movie, now that was great! Young Swayze, Cruise (before he went nuts), Matt Dillion, Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, they did an excellent job!
Ponyboy: When I stepped out into the bright sunlight, from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman, and a ride home

10.

Pretty In Pink

Love this movie! Duckie is my favorite! So many great lines, hard to choose, but I will….
Duckie: You know what an older women does for me?
Iona: Changes your diapers?
Duckie: Touché.

11.

Sixteen Candles

Molly Ringwald, again….she kinda disappeared after these films, but she was Hughes favorite, wasn’t she? Love this movie, another one that makes me remember my teen years!
The Geek: I mean, not many girls in contemporary American society today would give their underwear to help a geek like me.

12.

St. Elmo’s Fire

Great cast, good movie!!
Kevin: Never trust a woman who says she isn’t angry.

13.

Top Gun

One of the great ones of the 80′s. Of course this is when Tom was BC (before crazy), and tell me, who doesn’t love a guy in uniform!
Maverick: I feel the need…
Maverick, Goose: …the need for speed!

Flowers!!

Sherry — Sat, 11 Mar 2006 05:47:00 +0000

Flowers for the church are finished! They took me longer than expected, but I am pleased with them.

I made two arrangements like this, only they are in the mirror image of each other. They will be placed in the front of the church, on either side of the stage. I still need to make a smaller arrangement for in front of the pulpit. But that will have to wait till tomorrow! I’m tired!

Martha Stewart….I’m not!

Sherry — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 20:00:00 +0000

So I have been in a creative mode lately…this morning I whipped up these….

It was my first attempt at making glycerin soaps! And they turned out great! I used a vanilla scent, and a gold and wine color soap dye. They turned out a little pinker than I wanted but I am still pleased and they smell wonderful!! I’m making these as gifts, so I hope they like them!

I also went shopping yesterday with my pal Judy for flowers for arrangements that I will be making for the church.

That’s just some of the flowers….you should see my craft room! I brought home three very large arrangements from the church that, well let’s say were outdated, and so I am going to be busy doing flower arrangements the next couple of days. Told you, I am feeling creative! Actually, I have to get this done before we leave for our cruise! See, we are going and so are our friends, who happen to be our pastor and his wife as well as several other couples from church! So we are making sure things are setup before we leave.

Other news…My dad called, he had his checkup with his cardiologist and he is doing great! He will be starting rehab soon, which means that he will be going to be able to get some exercise! He’s looking forward to it. He sounded great…I am ecstatic!

Well, I’m off to conquer my forest of silk foliage! Keep an eye out…if I remember, I’ll post a picture of the finished products!
